Miller Statement on Senator Inouye

Statement

Today, Rep. Jeff Miller, Chairman of the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs, issued the following statement on the death of Senator Daniel Inouye:

"I am saddened by the news this evening of Senator Inouye's passing. He was one of the last World War II veterans in Congress, and a leading veteran advocate for more than 50 years. His selfless service to our nation dates back well before his time on Capitol Hill, where in hard battle on the fields of Italy in 1945 his actions resulted in being bestowed the Medal of Honor. With his passing, we remember the bravery and dedication of the Greatest Generation, and with each day that sets, we mourn all who battled through this life to find reward in the next."
